After watching this one can't help but think that the entire city of
Atlanta is one crime filled cesspool resembling a warzone!
How about an Orange County gang? Somehow, I doubt you would call OC a cesspool.

Agree with the other poster that said security guard escalated said situation by continuing to carry on and run his mouth. Too much yelling. Just tase the perpetrator. He doesn't get the message? Tase him again and get APD over there ASAP.

You don't have to have the loud argument and then continue the argument outside and then follow the guy down the sidewalk asking for his gun permit, which I am surprised by this point that this security guard wasn't immediately shot by this guy and/or his buddies. This could have ended very badly. You can try to be a tough guy but don't be stupid and risk your life, either.

Sidebar: That's why I'm not a security guard. I'd get sued. : )

The difference is that the gangs stay out of the good neighborhoods otherwise the police will beat their ass and send them back. The police force in the more affluent communities here have nazi like enforcement and the citizens of such neighborhoods ensure there are sufficient resources to keep these animals away to keep our communities safe. Can you say the same thing about ATL?

while it's true that LA has more gangs overall than ATL and some parts of LA are exceptionally dangerous, the danger is confined to specific areas and it does not get into the better neighborhoods. From what I have heard violence in ATL is more spread out and includes all neighborhoods...whether rich or poor.

Damn, the KKK can still hold a rally in 2014 Atlanta? With police protection? Really? All respect for that city is lost.

The first clip is on Marietta Street around the corner from the Georgia Dome. I recognize the MetroPCS.

The KKK rally in front of the state capitol was earlier this year in March. I'm all for freedom of speech, but I swear I felt like I was lost in a time warp when I watched the video. Seriously?!? It's 2014 - get over it already.
